Skinny Girl Margaritas

Amylynn1022

So next sat FI and I are heading to Florida for a nice relaxing vacation and I cant wait to sit on the beach with my drink in my hand!   My usual drink of choice is a Margarita but i know they have a million calories and since I have been watching what I am eating I have heard of these Skinny Girl Margaritas.. Anyone had them? How do they compare? Thanks girls

LOOOOOVE Skinny Girl! You have to get used to it at first, but after the first drink or two you'll love them and love that they're so much better for you. Basically what Bethenny did (the creator) was she removed the sour mix from the recipe and replaced it with agave.  DH and I joke that we want to buy it by the case! We both love it and that it's much better for us and all you have to do is open the bottle and pour and it's ready!

I've only tried it once, but I LOVE Bethanny. She is AWESOME!

I love them! Always have bottles in the house. I am a margarita fan and now this is the only way that I do it.

Such a good question...I recently learned how many calories were in a margarita and was shocked!!!

i'm not gonna lie - i was totally dissapointed in the pre-made bottled SG margarita after hearing rave reviews from friends.  it just doesn't compare to a normal margarita, i'm sorry!  (although it is tastier with a salted rim).  and honestly...they're not THAT skinny...it's still something like 200 calories on 8 oz, right?

personally, i'd rather to a cherry vokda & diet (2 oz of vodka is only 140 cals) or something like that and save my calories for a splurge on a real margarita...

i'm such a debbie downer right now arent i?  lol

Thanks girls... Starrbuk- not too much of a debbie downer figured had to be too good to be true.. lol! But i think i will try them anyway and since I skip the salt on the rim I think that wont help any.. but i might try the cherry vodka and diet.. sounds yummy!!

I agree!  Cherry vodka with diet, what a great idea!  I also like vanilla vodka with diet!

Have to say that I agree with Starrbukk, I wasn't a fan. BUT my sisters are huuuge fans of it. So I guess it is just a matter of personal taste. Margaritas usually give me heartburn anyways, so i guess I am biased I would definitely say that it's worth trying - you may end up loving it. My sisters are big fans of those "Hungry Girl" cookbooks, and there is one called "Hungry Girl Happy Hour"...maybe if you google it you could find some more low-cal recipes? Enjoy your vaca!
